Tight Pants' American Ninja Warrior Submission Video

This was my first year trying out for American Ninja Warrior, and I was lucky enough to get the call and compete in the Minneapolis Qualifier.

The episode aired last night (Monday 7/9) on NBC. Although my run didn't get shown, I have no complaints! It was one of the best experiences of my life, and I wouldn't change it for anything.

You can see some photos below:

The day before the episode aired was a special day for me, Heart Day. Heart Day is the anniversary of my last open heart surgery, I've had four of them! I've never talked much about my heart problems on the radio, not because I don't want to share my experience...but honestly, it's not really something you can explain in 10 seconds, haha! I recently posted on my Instagram and Facebook about heart day, and it was really cool seeing so many amazing responses from friends all across the country.

American Ninja Warrior is all about overcoming obstacles. Obviously on the course, but in real life too. The show is fantastic at telling these stories. Although I didn't get to tell mine this year on the actual show, you can get to know me a little more with my submission video for Season 10!

...and yes, training for season 11 is underway!
